Chapter 54: Hearing the News

After listening to this, Zhou Jiao smiled and said to the old man: "Grandpa, I am also very happy, I grew up in your story since I was a child, it is because of a good grandfather that I have received a lot of friendship and care, of course, the most important thing is to support the waist, and the waist is straight." We are all grandchildren, you're welcome, I listened to what you said, I won't blame my mother, it's not easy for my mother. I'm a mother myself, and I can understand my mother. A lot of things have happened so coincidentally that we've been separated for so many years. But my mother is my mother, she gave birth to me and raised me, she has been looking for my father for 17 years, and she has been waiting for my father alone, which is enough for me to respect and move me.

There are many kinds of maternal love in the world, and it can't be said that my mother didn't take care of me personally, which is a dereliction of duty. If my dad was by her side, she would have been able to guard me and accompany my dad safely. She didn't have to wander around alone, looking for my dad's footprints. She couldn't come to see me in person, maybe others would murmur about her in their hearts, but I understood that in addition to the war/chaos and inconvenient transportation, what she was thinking about was my dad, and my dad was her belief in surviving. She thinks so highly of my dad. That's enough for me to take my dad to heart, and she's already a great wife and mother to my daughter.

Grandpa, don't feel ashamed, although I haven't received so many things over the years, I still want to thank you relatives, with these things, I also let me stay in that home. Okay, don't say so many words of thanks, grandpa can stay for a few days this time? ”

Lin Xinsheng laughed, and was praised by Zhou Jiao, the granddaughter who met for the first time, who felt comfortable, this looks like her grandmother, and she speaks beautifully, unlike a few girls in the family who want to hide when they see him, and see if his Jiaojiao is a smart child, knowing that he is proud of his grandfather, he said, it's not that he is bad, it's that those children in the family are not in line with his fate.

"Okay, worthy of your grandma's granddaughter, she can speak, and she looks the most like your grandma. Your grandma always said that she misses you when she looks at your photos, and when you and the National Day are free, you will take the child over to see it, she can't stay in the north and can't stand it. I'm going to the military region tomorrow night, and the military order has arrived. It's not enough to come back, and you can discuss how your mother will go back. ”

After speaking, he looked at the people around him, and motioned Xiao Zhou and his subordinates to go out and have a look, and pay attention to the vigilance around them, and no outsiders were allowed to enter. When Zhang's mother saw it, she left her two daughters-in-law to go to the kitchen to prepare dinner and took the stones out of the house. The brothers looked at Zhang Guoqing's eyes, whether they wanted to go out too. Zhang Guoqing shook his head, let them stay at ease, there is nothing that cannot be said to outsiders, and the two elder brothers are not people who talk much.

Xiao Zhou came back and nodded slightly and left, before Lin Xinsheng spoke: "Don't be nervous, your brothers will stay on National Day, and his father on National Day, this time it's about Zhou Jiao's father and my son-in-law Zhou Xiaozheng." Didn't I just say that Jiaojiao's mother was going to come over, something big happened? That's what happened, during that time, someone from above handed me a message, my son-in-law and eldest son were still alive and returning from a mission.

In fact, except for Mr. Zhou's intention to prevent Zhou Jiao from returning to Beijing, why haven't I come to see Jiaojiao all the time? None of her dad's friends showed up? Jiaojiao must have had her suspicions. Before my eldest son went on a mission, he said that he had missed something, and I always suspected that he and my son-in-law had not had an accident and had gone on a secret mission. It's a pity that I didn't have an eyebrow no matter how secretly I investigated, but someone was staring at my eldest son's two children in the dark, and I knew it in my heart. In addition, Jiaojiao's mother kept saying that her husband was okay and still alive. Others say she's crazy, but my own daughter knows that she's definitely a little sure.

At that time, the situation was more complicated, and someone secretly pointed out to me, saying that I should protect Zhou Xiaozheng's daughter. The two of them have not been heard from since, and people like them will not notify their families if they have an accident on the way, unless they have a breath. I don't dare to say anything, I can't say it, not even the wife around me.

I let Jiaojiao's mother continue to work, for fear that she would leave the army and be in danger. I didn't dare to pick up Jiaojiao, I played with my life every day before I was liberated, it was good to have a life in those years, Zhou Jiao was at least safe in the village. After liberation, she plans to take Jiaojiao back, her grandmother is not in good health, but there is a nanny and aunt, and her mother returns to Beijing from time to time, and there is no shortage of people. Besides, the military compound is safe.

I hesitated again. I don't know if they are still in the world, or if they are still in the shadows, will Zhou Xiaozheng have the biggest official position among those people, and Jiaojiao is the most dangerous. So I secretly made a decision myself, if Zhou Jiao has nothing to do, I will keep it in the countryside first, at least when she is old and can understand what the danger is, and then take her back depending on the situation. Zhou Xiaozheng has several good brothers who will ask me here, but I don't dare to tell others where Jiaojiao is? This has been the case over the years, which has made this child suffer a lot and suffer a lot of grievances.

I'll talk to you first, you don't know about Zhou Xiaozheng's return, but I guess National Day and Jiaojiao have some points in their hearts, right? Her father will come back in a few months, and they have completed the task very well this time, and they are directly responsible for the one above. A few months ago, I learned that his father and uncle were alive. It's still in the period of religiousness/secrecy. You have a number in your heart, and you don't need to spread it to the outside world. When he comes back to his hometown, he will know. ”

Zhou Jiao held her mother's hand and looked at her in disbelief, seeing her mother nodding with a smile, the tears couldn't stop anymore, they guessed that they were really alive before, but this time they were really sure.

With tears in her eyes, she hurriedly looked at Zhang Guoqing and cheered, "Brother, my dad is really alive, really alive, I am finally relieved to be relieved in the past two days, he is not in danger." ”

Zhang Guoqing smiled and nodded, "That's right, I said he was fine, he must be fine." He's always worried about you. ”

Lin Lishan looked at this daughter-in-law and son-in-law, and looked at Old Man Lin in disbelief, her father guessed correctly, really, the two of them had already guessed that Zhou Xiaozheng was alive.

Lin Xinsheng looked at the young couple with a smile, he just heard his eldest son show a little tone, and he had always doubted in his heart, but he only got the news a year ago, how did they guess it? If he didn't pick up Zhou Jiao before, someone just mentioned it behind his back, and he never said it to anyone with the intention of being suspicious, even his wife never mentioned it.

"You little couple first talk about how you guessed, now except for the above few people who know about it, it hasn't spread yet, you can tell me how you came up with it."

Zhou Jiao secretly scolded herself for getting carried away and showing her face, and she could lower her vigilance after listening to her words without much contact. She bared her teeth at Old Man Lin and secretly stuck out her tongue: "Grandpa, this is a long story, wait for you to talk about my dad first, and let Guoqing tell you in person, he guessed it when he came back from yesterday to report the good news, and I only found out yesterday." ”
